Global trends
Reports suggest that Vietnam farmers are neither willing to sell pepper at lower price nor wanting to compete with other origins until their new crop comes by early next year.Brazil crop is also expected to be lower and exporters will not sign contracts in anticipation of the crop as they did it last season. Hence there will not be adequate supply of pepper for the period from September to December from these origins.
Meanwhile, market was stronger and prices increased at all origins. In Lampung and Belem as well as Brazil the market was active and price of black pepper at these sources rose by 5-6% locally this week.
